#OnThisDay in 1882, English cricket 'died' and the Ashes were born.
England were 51/2 chasing just 85 for victory against Australia at The Oval, but collapsed to 77 all out, with Fred ‘The Demon’ Spofforth claiming 7 for 44.
The rest is history.

From the @FireStationSun to the @wintertideuk at St. Hilda’s Church, The Headland, Hartlepool. An excellent venue to see @fieldmusicmusic. With Mercedes and the Memory Club performing too. @marcrileydj @HpoolCouncil ⛪️☃️🎶
Finally visited the excellent @FireStationSun on Friday evening, (although had been to the @EngineRoomSland before), and saw the fantastic @fieldmusicmusic! A great night had. Hopefully, will get to see the #FireDoors at some point too! @marcrileydj @SunderlandUK @PMCallaghan

Thank you, @Everton, for this incredible gesture and for your continued support of @bradleysfight 💙
As we reaffirm our support for @bradleysfight, we have donated our mascot experience for tonight's game.
We will be led out by Sunderland fan Reuben, who went through leukaemia treatment for over two-and-a-half years before getting the all clear. 💙
